Banking or Money Transfers?

12 years ago
I am soon moving to Haiti for an extended period working with a non-profit based in the U.S.

In keeping my own money separate from the monthly support coming into the organization from the U.S., what is the best (and cheapest) way to receive funds from the U.S.? Bank transfers or money wiring services like WesternUnion?

And if bank to bank transfer, how difficult is it for an American to get a local bank account? What bank would you recommend? And what information will they require of me to open the account?
